arti 504d63a705 udpstream: the soft reboot has never worked (0/2) -- attempt 1 was a manual power cycle
The operator confirms attempt 1's recovery at 88 s was a manual power cycle,
not the payload.  That makes the record 0 confirmed successes out of 2, and
the first reading of attempt 1 -- "black and hung, needs a power cycle" --
was right after all.

Three corrections are now recorded in section 72.3, because they are one
mistake made three times: "hung" from a single sample, then "works" from the
same sample after it recovered, then "works" again when that recovery was
attributed to the payload.  The recovery had an external cause, which one
observation cannot tell apart from the payload working.

The Ghidra finding stands: the firmware has no software reboot, so there is
no supported entry to jump to.  Untested hypothesis for the hang remains
that the reset path leaves the LANCE busy-mastering; CSR0_STOP before the
jump would be the single-variable test.

vtcmd.py reboot requires --force and now says plainly that it has never
worked and that a power cycle should be expected.
